LITTLE ROCK — The U.S. Supreme Court indicated it won’t review the case of an Arkansas doctor sentenced to life in prison for plotting a bombing that nearly killed the chairman of the state’s medical board.

The one-sentence denial was filed Wednesday in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Randeep Mann.

Mann asked the high court in June to consider his case, less than two months after he was sentenced to life in prison for the second time for his conviction in the February 2009 bombing that critically wounded Dr. Trent Pierce, then-chairman of the Arkansas Medical Board, outside his West Memphis home.

Pierce led the medical board when it revoked Mann’s license to prescribe narcotics after he allegedly overprescribed pain medications, leading to some patient deaths. Prosecutors said Mann, a pain medication specialist who ran a private practice in Russellville, was upset over multiple investigations by the state Medical Board and comments by Pierce that he believed Mann was providing improper care to his patients.

At a May 1 hearing, which Mann did not attend, U.S. District Judge Brian Miller sentenced Mann to life in prison and 30 years on two bombing charges, 10 years on two weapons charges and 5 years on two obstruction charges. The judge said an order that Mann pay $100,000 in restitution would remain in effect.

In July 2012, the 8th Circuit upheld the conviction of Mann’s wife, Sangeeta Mann, on obstruction charges. Sangeeta Mann was sentenced to one year in prison and fined $50,000.
